Does this jacket pack well? Going to LA soon, and I want something I can carry in my purse and pull out when necessary.

Yes it's very lightweight so you can fold to make it fit nicely in a purse, bit a big purse though.

Very light, could pack in a "travel-purse" friendly roll without any issues..

The Columbia Women's Splash a Little Jacket is thin, comfortable, and stylish. However, you will need a medium size purse (not very small) to fully accommodate it. Living in Houston, TX, wear this jacket almost constantly. If you decide to buy it, you should be happy.

Jacket packs very well; non-wrinkle, not heavy, great hood. a bit bulky for a purse, unless you have a big satchel and will roll the jacket.

I find it to be plenty warm enough on it's own for work days (in the car before it warms up, walking to and from the car, etc). For outdoor activities I like to layer with a sweatshirt, fleece or sweater for added warm. The slim profile of the jacket vs the huge puffy down made my decision for me. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of warmth for the reduced bulk.

It's quite light. I really like it for travel since it has a pocket and it zips closed!

I just went hiking with it this past weekend. At the end of the hike, I was sweating, and felt a lot of sweat on my back. But its a very comfortable pack. However, it lacks space for TONS of camera gear for long trips. So, be warned that if you want this trip to go cross country, its not going to store much more than a camera and a lens in the padded area. In the main compartment, stuff will move around quite a bit. So, plan carefully.

Oh yes, and on top of that you'll also be able to fit a little more. The things I've been able to pack in are both my gloves, heavy jacket, a book, ownersmanual/title, allen wrench set, extra straps, phone, kickstand slide plate, maps and water bottle. It is really sturdy and a good product you just have to play around with the straps.

I guess that would depend on what you wanted to take with you. If you just wanted to pack some food and maybe a light jacket, I'd say you'd be ok otherwise you'll probably need some additional storage.

yes, sure. It's a really amzing confortable bag: light but also able to contain number of stuff (and device also).It has a button to close it, an external pocket with zip. I bought it for me and then other 4 as gifts and they all got exciting comments (and I see people using my gifts!!, this means it met their needs). I really recommend it.

Itll depend on how you pack for those three days. if youre a light packer 3days of clothes would be just fine. Had a cold dayhike where we eventually stashed 2 sweaters,2 rain jackets, a 3L camelback, rope, water bottle, granola, cliff bars and bear spray. We still had room for more and it was comfortable to carry

if it is overstuffed, it may be too long. I have had friends use theirs as carry on, but I did not attempt to. It is a smaller (higher than a chair back) pack and very lightweight though.

It's pretty small, good for a day pack. You'd be pushing it to pack enough in it for an overnight trip.

Very useful... Easy to pack and carry, but you jacket will get crumpled, for me it is not a problem...

Oh yeah. This coat folds/wads up pretty tightly. I'm sure you could fit it in a Jersey back pocket. For reference, I can fit mine into a regular Ziplock sandwich bag, to give you an idea. It's very packable.

I think the bag is big enough and you can reach everything much faster because the zipper goes all the way down. I can fit everything I need in there and use it as my purse to because I don´t want to always carry to bags.

Yes. Its a day pack and can easily handle a jacket, snacks and other items for a full day of activity. Very comfortable and well made pack.

The material is too thick to cleanly pack into a pocket like a poncho would. I've rolled it like a shirt and stored it in my luggage that way, and it doesn't take up as much room as a regular shirt would but it's not a ultrathin jacket. It doesn't have any thick or rigid parts. For me the trade off was the super-thin jackets tended to not be as water resistant, as I've had an LL Bean jacket that got humid on the inside even with a little bit of rain.
